Symphony

Look ahead and all you see are brick walls
And all you feel are broken falls
You're left asking why me
Right behind is the devil in a three piece
Trying to force you down on your knees
Make you beg him for some mercy
You say you'd sell your soul for just a chance
At the big time would I find this pipe dream
If only you could you would help it
Has-beens have a road of hope
It follows them wherever they go
It's been years since you picked up your chello
You know you can but you say no(oh oh)
Johnny write a symphony for me (oh oh)
Johnny write a symphony for me
On the right side people walk the straight and narrow
And their bank books adding zeros telling you you got potential
You were not left out when they were handing out the good life
They offered cuts in front of the line
You misunderstood and you said your hands were full
Yeah don't kick yourself for wasting all those years
At the big time would I find this pipe dream
If only you could you would help it
Has-beens have a road of hope
It follows them wherever they go
It's been years since you picked up your chello
You know you can but you say no. (oh oh)
Johnny write a symphony for me (oh oh)
Johnny write a symphony for me
Beethoven Bach Mozart were not aiming for the bullseye
With a masterpiece in mind they did not know
They just wrote their hearts' desire
Despite the critics and the liars
The world yearns to hear your golden bow
At the big time would I find this pipe dream
If only you could you would help it
Has-beens have a road of hope
It follows them wherever they go
It's been years since you picked up your chello
You know you can but you say no (oh oh)
Johnny write a symphony for me (oh oh)
Johnny write a symphony for me (oh oh)
Johnny write a song for me.
